Mike McIntyre
In 1982, when Mike was on his way to work, his car hit a large piece of concrete that had been deliberately placed in the road by some kids. The resulting accident left Mike’s legs paralyzed. At first he felt he would never be able to do anything again, but when he met people in wheelchairs who played sports, he quickly became involved. Mike attended Chico State and studied therapeutic recreation. Through a program called Ability First, Mike mentored other paraplegics in the art of wheelchair road racing. He participated in the Honolulu Marathon six years in a row and also worked with a group that developed a water ski for the disabled, known as Kan Ski. In recent times, Mike has worked in data entry for a travel agency.
